I commissioned an artwork by the wonderful and talented Nissou based on a scene from my fanfic, Fire in the Hearth on AO3.
This is from Chapter 10: DANCE
Here's a little taste...
Zuko turned to Toph.
He closed the space between them, his breath growing shallow with every step.
Toph was blushing with the same intensity of her outfit.
She stood still as Zuko stopped in front of her.
His eyes wandered over her again. He wished she would lift her face so he could see her properly.
He hesitated. “Can I have this dance?”
Toph’s head snapped in agreement, but her body did not move.
“Can I have your hand?” he asked.
She jolted, then held her hand out in wait. He paused for only a moment, before taking it in his. Their fingers closed around each other, the vibration of his heart shooting through her.
He was surprised. The usually steady Toph was trembling slightly in his grasp.
He squeezed her hand tighter.
“I don’t do the twirling thing,” Toph said seriously.
He smiled as a small huff escaped him. “Don’t worry. No twirling,” he whispered, leaning closer.
...
The rest and everything that happened before (so much drama) and after (even more drama!), can be found here!!!

(Gushing time: oh my spirits, look at how gorgeous and buff Toph is! And Zuko so handsome! The height difference! Aaaaahhh their outfits literally looked like that in my mind! Aaaaahhhh! I am so overjoyed, I can't stop staring at them! This is magic! Its magic!)
